Sensitivity of the SHiP experiment to a light scalar particle mixing with the Higgs
/ Lanfranchi, Gaia (Istituto Nazionale Fisica Nucleare Frascati (IT))
/SHiP Collaboration
This conceptual study shows the ultimate sensitivity of the SHiP experiment for the search of a light scalar particle mixing with the Higgs for a dataset corresponding to 5-years of SHiP operation at a nominal intensity of 4 1013 protons on target per second. The sensitivity as a function of the length of the vessel and of its distance from the target as well as a function of the background contamination is also studied..CERN-SHiP-NOTE-2017-001.-

The Active Muon Shield

/SHiP Collaboration
In the SHiP beam-dump of the order of 1011 muons will be produced per second. An active muon-shield is used to magnetically deflect these muons out of the acceptance of the spectrom- eter. [...] CERN-SHiP-NOTE-2016-005.-

Heavy Flavour Cascade Production in a Beam Dump
/SHiP Collaboration
SHiP will use a 400~GeV/c proton beam impinging on a several interaction length long Molybdenum target. Heavy flavour hadrons produced in the dump can decay semi-leptonically, which can produce both the Heavy Neutral Leptons as signal, but also potential background from muons and neutrinos.
